Hero: Has been card dead and has not had any post-flop play for almost an hour.
Villain: Tight but very aggressive. Have seen 3 played hands. The first two included big PSB from late position on a two-tone flop and then he angrily folded when the flush hit on the turn. The third was a 7xBB bet behind two limpers where both folded.

Questions:
1. Should I have 3bet pre-flop? I thought about it and decided not to since ATs is more of a drawing hand and the chance of iso-raising with 3 players willing to call a 6xBB from the MP was slim in my eyes.
But if I had raised I probably would have gotten Villain's 44 to fold...
2. Should I have let the flop check through? I figured I had a decent chance to win the pot right there. And even if I didn't I knew I had loads of equity (around 44%). I was planning to shove a blank turn or check another club to induce a bluff.
